That's a remarkable uniformity of thought.
What is "unique to us" is that a multi-cultural society of some tolerance will almost never have 95% of people agree on anything. Scraping together 60% is almost a miracle on most topics.
In fact, I would wager than 95% of us wouldn't even agree that execution is an excessive punishment for this lady for allowing a teddy bear to be named Mohammed.
